I loved my Aunt Effie she was a wonderful lady, her and Uncle CB would come to Pikeville Ky and we loved it because Carlton, Cain, Cevin, and Cris all played with us we always had a great time!!!
Me and Janie would stay all night at their house in later years!!!
Great memories cousins don’t even know each other now but we sure did then!!
I love this whole family so much would love to get to come to the services!!
You’re in my prayers
